Presenting a fixed blade dagger with a 10″ blade of “Dragonskin Damascus” made by Bertie Rietveld the blade features interesting colors and a long fuller, my logo in 24K gold was done by Joe Mason. The fittings are 4130 steel which I have inlaid many round dots of gold using four colors of 18K and 14K gold, the fitting and the blade were gun blued by Brian Hochstrat. I have made a metal throated and tipped scabbard which is wrapped in black sharkskin. I also inlaid gold dots into the frog and the tip detail. All the metal parts are 4130 I sent these parts to Turnbull Restorations to be color case hardened.

The handle is carbon fiber. I have also supplied a zipper case made with black sharkskin to protect the knife and complement the scabbard covering. The scabbard has a hard maple core which is lined with Ultrasuede to protect against scratching the blade. I have also made a display stand to display the dagger on. The base is tiger striped maple with African blackwood uprights and feet.

Amayak has a very recognizable high relief style of engraving accented with 24K gold background, on the backside of the knife Amayak inlaid gold into the black lip mother of pearl inlays. There are also 2 diamonds set in his ring.
